Xiaoquangou Road.
Taking advantage of the Second Independent Regiment's third-line defensive position on the left wing of Dafengzhuang, it held back the main force of the Yamauchi Regiment.
Sun Zhenguo, the commander of the first battalion of the new regiment, led the soldiers of the direct bicycle team, riding more than 150 modified bicycles of various types, and quickly circled on the mountain path towards the back of the mountain alliance.
This is the advantage of the direct driving force.
Utilizing the mobility of a large number of modified bicycles, the roundabout speed of the straight-moving team is much greater than that of conventional infantry.
After completing most of the planned trip.
The reconnaissance post, which was posted a few hundred meters away on the flank, rode back to report:
"Battal Commander, the situation is not good. About a mile away, we saw Japanese cavalry troops and tanks appearing, crossing in the direction we are heading."
"The opponent's speed is faster than ours. If this continues, sooner or later they will get in front of us."
Sun Zhenguo nodded. He had already received information about the Japanese mobile troops.
"This is the Japanese tank unit and cavalry unit. It seems that the Japanese want to block our roundabout from the flanks."
"Batalion Commander, what should we do now?"
His mind suddenly turned sharply, Sun Zhenguo thought for a moment and said: "Our mission now is to quickly detour back to the back of the Shanuchi Regiment. If we are really entangled by the Japanese tanks and cavalry units, the detour mission will be a complete failure."
"Our bicycles may not be rivals of Japanese tanks."
"...In this way, no matter how powerful the Japanese cavalry and tanks are, they still need to walk on flat mountain roads, and they can't climb hills.
Let's turn around. Do you see the westward slope? It’s not too steep. We carried the car on our backs and took a circuitous route back to the mountain road on the other side.
If we want to deal with the Japanese cavalry and tanks, we must run in front of them in advance and then find a way to set up an ambush, otherwise we will be passive. "
"yes!"
After Sun Zhenguo's order was quickly conveyed, the soldiers changed direction and abandoned the originally flat and comfortable mountain road.
A group of several people first carried, carried, and dragged the bicycles up the west-facing hillside.
After a while of work, we reached the small mountain road on the back side of the west hillside again, and then went straight to the queue and started on the road again.
This is another major advantage of bicycles. The body is lightweight and easier to transfer.
Accompanying the direct driving team of the new regiment, the leader of the first anti-tank combat team of the independent regiment told Sun Zhenguo:
"Batalion Commander Sun, we are moving in a hurry this time, and the anti-tank gun is not light, so we cannot bring it here.
We just brought some anti-tank mines and some explosive charges, but we needed time.
It will take at least thirty minutes, and we can lay traps in advance on the road where the Japanese tanks must pass. "
Hearing this, there was no hesitation on Sun Zhenguo's face.
"Okay, then I'll buy you thirty minutes.
As for the specific ambush location, how about placing it on the mountain road a mile away? "
"good!"
After making up his mind, Sun Zhenguo immediately made combat arrangements.
"The mountain road one mile away is used as a specific location to block Japanese tanks and cavalry troops.
Platoon one and two stayed behind and fought with me to buy at least thirty minutes for the comrades of the independent regiment.
For the purpose of subsequent retreat, heavy weapons should not be left behind.
Three rows and four rows continued to drive our straight vehicles to retreat into the distance, luring the Japanese troops to pursue them. "
The direct driving team created by Ding Wei has nearly 200 members and about 150 vehicles.
It is divided into four direct combat platoons. Each platoon is equivalent to the number of reinforced platoons, about fifty people.
Sun Zhenguo left the first and second platoons of soldiers armed with light weapons to block the pursuing Japanese troops on the hillsides on both sides of the road.
The soldiers in the third and fourth platoons, under the command of the direct vehicle company commander, rode modified bicycles and checked in some extra two-wheeled bicycles, and continued to move farther away.
When running on more rugged mountain roads, the speed of war horses is more flexible and lighter than tanks.
The roar of the tanks was far behind.
Miki, the captain of the Japanese cavalry squadron, had already taken the lead in leading the Japanese cavalry around for a certain distance and arrived at the back side of the slope where the soldiers of the new regiment had evacuated.
Miki rode his horse and stood on a dirt bun.
Taking advantage of the raised terrain, Miki saw through the telescope the straight-moving vehicle team that continued to evacuate in the distance.
There was a bit of contempt on the corner of his mouth.
"The cunning Tubal Road changed direction midway and used the previous slope to block our army's pursuit.
interesting!
They even used some bicycles as means of transportation to form such a nondescript bicycle team.
Give me my order and pursue them quickly. We must not let these idiots escape! "
"Hi!"
The communications soldier responded and turned around to deliver the order.
The Japanese adjutant asked instead: "Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, Nakamura-kun's tank team is still behind. Should we wait for the tanks to arrive before pursuing them?"
Miki shook his head. As a rather traditional cavalryman, his deep love for war horses and cavalry tactics made him have a grudge against the tank troops that were gradually replacing the cavalry troops.
"No need!"
"On such mountain roads, heavy chariots are far inferior to the flexibility of our cavalry."
"Your Majesty the Wing Commander's order is very clear. Let us cut off the eighth route's mobile troops and take a detour. I'm afraid Nakamura's chariot team will not be able to count on them."
"Let's attack first, hold off this group of eight, and then wait for tank reinforcements."
"Hi!"
…
Sun Zhenguo led the first and second platoons of No. 100 soldiers to hide in time, so that the Japanese reconnaissance troops only focused on the straight-moving formations that continued to evacuate, instead of detecting the ambush troops lurking with the help of the lush trees on both sides. .
"Thirty minutes, as long as we can get thirty minutes, with the methods of the independent regiment's anti-tank combat team, it shouldn't be a problem to kill the Japanese tanks."
Sun Zhenguo seemed to be comforting himself or telling the two platoon leaders beside him.
What worries him most now is... "All we have left are light infantry, not even a heavy machine gun.
If the Japanese who came over in advance were cavalry, then it would be okay. If they were to fight an ambush, they would be easier to fight than the infantry.
But what if the enemy’s tank comes first..."
For the rest, Sun Zhenguo did not say that if the Japanese tank troops were really the first to pursue them, according to the intelligence, the Japanese even used medium tanks this time.
With these rifles and light machine guns in the hands of the ambush soldiers, it is impossible to threaten the Japanese tanks.
Just as he was calming down and thinking, the reconnaissance sentry returned with his body bent and reported with a joyful face: "Battalion Commander, it's the cavalry. The Japanese cavalry came here first!"
"Very good!"
Sun Zhenguo's clenched fist smashed down hard.
Although according to his speculation, cavalry is more flexible than tanks on mountain roads, and the Japanese cavalry troops should be walking in front of the Japanese tanks.
But since the situation was not certain, he felt a little confused.
Now I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Signal Corps, order all squads to get ready for battle. Each machine gunner has written it down for me. When they fire, try to hit the little Japs on the war horses.
After quickly resolving the battle at the front, I still hope to use the Japanese war horses to quickly catch up with our team! "
"Yes!" The communications soldier crouched and turned around to convey the order.
"Every unit is ready for battle!"
"The battalion commander told me to aim at people as much as possible and don't hurt the horses!"
